Opponent's Playbook

October 11, 1998|By MIKE PRESTON

The formation: One-back set, trips right.

The action: At the snap, wide receiver Willie Davis (84), split left, runs off the cornerback and then seals him off. Left tackle Brad Hopkins and left guard Bruce Matthews both step to the play side, blocking the end and tackle. Center Mark Stepnoski blocks the back-side linebacker, with right guard Jason Layman and hTC right tackle Jon Runyan double-teamming on the play-side tackle and Runyan scraping off to block the middle linebacker. Tight end Jackie Harris (88) hooks the end, H-back Frank Wycheck (89) blocks the strong-side linebacker and wide receiver Yancey Thigpen (82) runs off the corner. Quarterback Steve McNair (9) reverse pivots and then hands off to running back Eddie George (27), who reads the play before making the proper cut.
